Dear Sir
Your letter of the 2 nd Instant, came duly to hand. . . and lament that I cannot answer you, (on his behalf) as satisfactorily as could be wished. The Man I recollect well; as he was in my Company in the Years 1776 & part of 1777 that is to say, untill I was promoted Captain John Christy then took Command of my Company with Henry Dawbman as a Soldier therein. . . from this time until the close of the War. I cannot positively state the circumstances that may be necessary to substantiate his claim. still I am of Opinion that his word may be relied on; as I Esteemed him as a man of truth — It is unfortunate that Captain Christy is dead. who in all probability (if living) could testify on Oath all that is necessary —
With Respect
I am
